Notes

• It is believed this effect in and of itself has no actual impact on game play.
• Similarly to how buffs may be "shrugged off", this effect may be "wiped off":

You wipe the pie off your face. Yecch.

You acquire an effect: Sticky Hands (duration: 1 Adventure)

• Attempting to wipe off the pie while in combat produces an alert with the message "Unable to shrug Pie in the Face because you are in a fight."
• Even if you wipe off more than one pie at once, you still only get 1 adventure of Sticky Hands.
